RADIATOR WITI-r RmvIovaBLn'nLRr/Innrs.

Application filled January29', 1921.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that- I, HENRI RAYMOND GUYOT, a citizen of the Republic of France, residing at 54 Avenue Jean Jaures, Paris,

France, have invented a Radiator with'Removable Elements, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention has for itsobject a motor carradiator or thelike, characterized by the fact that it comprises removable elements which are retained in the frame offV the radiator in afspecial manner, in order to allow ci"V taking.` tliem out and of replacing them in case-ofaccide'ntl f This radiator, with its removable ele' ments, allows anyone to replace instantaneously a leaking or injured element without any difliculty; moreover, this element can be separated' from the complete assembly of elements if necessary, even when on the road.

The invention will be described hereafter with reference to the accompanying dra-wing in which:

Fig. 1 is a partial front view of a radiator with removable elements;

Fig. 2 is a cross vertical section through one of the removable elements;

Fig. 14 illustrates elements assembled end to end by means of a sleeve device;

Fig. 15 shows a connecting device comprising a sleeve in one piece;

Fig. 16 is a section of a modification of the device connecting the removable elements with the body of the radiator;

Fig. 17 is a section of another modification of this device;

Figs. 18 and 19 are sections of a 1nodifi cation of the connecting deviceV in itsclosed and open position;

Fig. 20 is a sectionvof a modification of thel connecting device in the closed position.

As illustrated in the drawings, Figs. 1 and 2, this radiator comprises removable elements A, which may be of any system whatever', comprising an upper header B and a lower header B1 on which are fitted a special. connecting device which permits ready removal and renewal of the elements.

In the form of removable element, illustratedl in Fig. 3, the structure comprises headers a. provided with a neck piece and a horizontal sleeve o slidably fitting on a hollow valve casing d provided with a valve e opening in the header C of the radiator closed by walls. This hollow casing d is fixed and constitutes apart of the header of the radiator.

The valve e comprises a valve head el, a valve rod e2 and a spring f adapted to cause the closing of the valve.

When the elements are placed in position after causing them to pass in the direction indicated b v the arrow, Fig. 3', a cap-nut g is screwed home until two flexible annular packings h are compressed. Simultaneous ly, the valve e is opened and the header a of the element communicatesthrough port-'sv i with the header C of the radiatc'nw` Y Ifit is desired `to separate the element from theA radiator, it issimply necessary to unscrew thecap-nut g, thus enabling` the returning spring 7 to close the valve upon its scat (Z1, so that the communication between elementand the header C of the radiator is cut off.

In the modification-illustrated-'inFig 4;-

the arrangement comprises only' one annu# lar packing z. Moreover, the nut g is rei placed by studs j.

In the modification' illustrated inFig; 5, the valve e is a ball valve. The ball e acting as a valve is actuated, when it is to be opened, by a rod 7c pushed by the cap-nut g. This modilication is actuated and works automatically as above set forth.

The rod 1c might be made integral with the cap-nut. g, as illustrated in Fig. 6.

In the modification illustrated in Fig. 7, the valve e is a tapered valve with a screw threaded opening rod. It is not an automatically closing valve, but it is actuated by hand by means of a socket wrench fitted on the square part e3.

In the modiication illustrated in Fig. 8, the valve c is a reciprocatory piston valve. The reciprocatory piston is actuated by hand by means of an exterior screw knob Z.

In the modification shown in Fig. 9, the valve is a turning plug cock et actuated by hand by means of a socket wrench fitted on the square part e3.

Figures 10, 11 and 12 illustrate a modiiication of connecting device which is provided with a male member, a female member, and with a yoke m and a clamping screw a serving for the assemblage ot' the elements A on the radiator.

Fig. 13 shows a connecting device for double elements A A. This device comprises conical packings o arranged to the right and to the left and placed in the reverse direction from each other` the whole being held on the 'radiator by a bolt p.

Fig. 14 shows elements A assembled end to end by means of sleeves g made in two parts.

Fig. l5 shows a connecting sleeve g made in one piece.

In the modification illustrated in Fig. 16, tl seat d1 of the valve (Fig. 3) is remova e.

In the modification illustrated in Fig. 17, thevalve e is a double action valve, that is to say that by unscrewing the cap-nut g the liquid inlet is opened, but at the same time, the valve bears upon another seat @Z2 so as to isolate or shut off the spring f from the water in the radiator header C.

In Figs. 18 and 19, the valve is carried by a movable member Z3 returned by a spring f1, so that by unscrewing the nut g, the spring f1 brings back the valve and opens the liquid inlet, as illustrated in Fig. 19.

' In the modification shown in Fig. 20, the closing of the liquid inlet is obtained by a double action obturating piston valve el actuated vby a screw g1 integral with the nut g.

'The screw g1 and the nut g have screw threads of reverse direction, so that by unscrewing the nut g for instance, the piston e1 is brought rearward for giving passage to the liquid and by screwing up the said nut the valve is closed for cutting off the admission of the liquid.

In both extreme positions, the obturating piston valve e1 bears upon soft annular liners zf.

A claw c3 fitting in a slot d4 prevents the piston el from rotating during its movements.

The forms, details, accessories, materials and dimensions of the above devices may of course be varied without departing thereby from the principle of the invention.

Claims:

l. A radiator comprising headers carryingvalve casings and having elements which are independently removable, said elements including a connecting` device consisting of a sleeve rigidly secured to the element, said valve casings housing a spring valve, and a cap nut adapted to maintain the said sleeve on the valve casing and to cause the opening of the valve when the element is put in position.

2. A radiator comprising headers carrying valve casings, and intermediate independently removable radiating elements, said elements provided with headers at each end having sleeve members adapted for slidable connection with said valve casings, a reciprocating valve in said casing, and a cap nut adapted to cooperate with each valve casing to connect and disconnect the element headers with the valve casing and to open and close the valve therein, said valve and cap nut being coaxial.

3. A radiator comprising headers carrying valve casings, and intermediate independently removable radiating elements, said elements provided with headers at each end having sleeve members adapted for slidable connection with said valve casings, a reciprocating valve in each of said casings, a removable valve seat in each of said casings, and a cap nut cooperating with each casing to connect and disconnect the element headers with the valve casings and to open and close the valves therein, said valve and cap nut being coaxial.

4. A radiator comprising headers carrying valve casings and intermediate independently removable radiating elements, said elements provided with headers at each end having sleeve members adapted for slidable connection with said valve casings, a reciprocating valve in each of said casings, a spring controlled valve carrier in each of said casings mounting said reciprocating valve, and a cap nut adapted to cooperate with each valve casing to connect and disconnect the element headerswith'the valve casings 4and to open and close the valves therein, said valves and cap nuts beingcoaxial.
